How We are Commemorating International Day of Peace

Today at 2 PM EST on International Day of Peace we will host a Twitter Party with Generation ON, Hasbro, Dr. Michele Borba as well as 10 fellow Social Good Moms about spreading kindness in honor of Martin Richard, the 8-year-old who tragically lost his life during the Boston bombing.

The Martin Richard Bridge Builder campaign, presented by Generation ON, challenges kids, teens and families across the country to take action that fosters greater togetherness, compassion, peace and kindness in their communities through service projects that build bridges and bring people together. You can find the campaign web site at generationon.org/peace.

Our Global Health Reporting

Women in low-and-middle-income countries need clean birth kits in order to stave off deadly infections in themselves and their newborns. This is the case not only during home births with midwives but also in institutionalized settings.

Zubaida Bai, founder of Ayzh, a social enterprise that creates clean, safe birthing kits for women as well as reproductive, newborn and adolescent kits, discusses how she included women’s voices in the development of clean birthing kits.

I am convinced that in order for maternal health interventions to work anywhere in the world, women must be consulted first as opposed to NGOs and charities developing products for women without their input. Bai expresses this brilliantly in this recent TED talk.
